Should have taken it easy

[Ascelus]

First bike ride in a month yeaterday after suffering from a chesty cold. Totally worn out today, so should have taken it easier, puncture did not help. Out with my cycling buddy tomorrow, he is five years older than me and puts me to shame,like a whippet,if I can lose the weight maybe I can keep up with him.but he is moving up to Norfolk soon,long way to cycle every morning,so will be looking for new partner during the week, other weekend buddy has had an operation on her knee after a skiing accident in February and has to wait 9 months before she can properly cycle again. Boo Hoo. Have a good day everybody, reduction is the aim,enjoyment is the game.

Ooh I hate a puncture! Maybe do shorter trips until you feel able to do more.

Exercise is great, and I know that cycling burns a lot of fuel, but what you eat is also really important for weight loss.

I see you are new - so welcome! - and that you were on the Daily Diary yesterday: I hope you will keep joining us there every day. I have found it really useful in helping me learn what works for me and keeping me accountable to myself. Look forward to reading your menus there.

Have cycled for years,just after a really bad cold so I think it has just knocked me down. Will be out tomorrow morning
